Hello everybody, hope you’re all doing well!
Today, we’re very excited to announce that we're launching a big update for the Mine-imator Forums, with a beautiful new design, a revamped layout and a few extra features!
In this post, we’ll cover all the changes we made, starting with...
 A snazzy new look
Gone are the dark blues and grays of days past! With this update, we’re introducing a brand new design, based on an updated version of Inventory, the design system that powers the user interface of Modelbench, and soon, Mine-imator.

Featuring a rich, bright color palette, updated typography and icons, and a wider, more spacious layout, this slick new theme will bring a much needed modern makeover for the forums. I really hope you’ll enjoy it!
 Join the dark side
If you’re the kind of person who doesn’t like frying their retinas while browsing at night, don’t worry, we got you covered! The new theme comes with a built-in Dark Mode to make your reading experience a lot more comfortable when you need it.

To enable it, simply click the moon icon on the top right of the page. The forums will automatically remember your choice, and you can disable it at any time, too!
 Note that for this feature to work properly, any existing color formatting had to be removed from posts. This was necessary to prevent text with dark colors applied to it from being impossible to read for Dark Mode users.
 News you can’t miss
Unless you specifically follow the right forums, it can be easy to miss all the important new stuff we have to share with you. To help with that, we’re introducing Headlines, a new way of making announcements to the community.
Headlines is a new feature on our homepage, allowing us to highlight any posts we want you to read, such as updates on the development of Mine-imator, important news regarding the forums, etc. This way, we can be sure you won’t have to worry about missing out on the latest juicy tidbits!
 A bit of spring cleaning
As part of this update, we’re also changing the way the forums are organized, to remove unnecessary clutter, and hopefully, make them easier to navigate.
The Mine-imator and Modelbench forums are now part of the same category, bringing them closer together, and making sure that you can find everything you need in one place.
As for the Minecraft and Off-topic categories, they’ve been merged into the Lounge, the new home of all the stuff that isn’t about Mine-imator. What used to be a dozen subforums now neatly fit within 4 forums, Random talk, Other creations, Minecraft discussion, and Forum games.
Let us know what you think about this new setup!
 And more!
We’ve replaced the existing reactions with a new set of playful animations featuring our mascots Ashley and Jonathan, animated by @mbanders and myself. And for those moments where a mere upvote just doesn’t feel like it’s enough, we’re also adding a new “Love” reaction to the roster! Use it wisely!
Moderators and members who have recently joined the forums will now display a badge next to their name in posts. User groups also have fancy icons next to their names! The number of won days and the number of questions you helped solve now display next to your posts, alongside your reputation points and your post count. The text editor has been updated with new icons and a few changes: Font and Size options were replaced with a Format option, letting you choose between three paragraph styles: Heading 1, Heading 2, and normal text. The text color option now uses the Inventory UI palette. While the selection is more limited, those new colors can automatically adapt for users that have Dark Mode enabled, ensuring high-contrast text no matter what background it’s being read against. The background color option also uses this new palette. It was tweaked to act like a highlighter tool, giving text a subtle background instead of a solid block of color. I’m very excited to start this new chapter of the Mine-imator Forums with all of you, and I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I enjoyed working on it over the past few months. I’d also like to thank David, our trusty forum staff, and all our beta testers for helping me make this update possible.
If you have any feedback or suggestions to make, be sure to leave a reply below! In the meantime, happy browsing, everyone! Take care. ✌

Well, Nimi's added volumetric fog and global illumination all by himself, so I'm pretty sure he'd more than capable of adding reflections if he wanted.
Not to mention, there's already been a few experiments and even entire tutorials on how to make reflections and specular highlights in current MI versions. ? 

Well Inventory wouldn't exist without you, so thank you for that!
(Now come on get back to work you've got GPUs to melt)

I've spent the past 3-4 years researching techniques for graphics rendering.(Non-realistic effects like specular highlights and "glowing" objects, realistic rendering via PBR...) Never got around to applying what I've learned until now for 1.3.0; partly due to being new to shaders for the longest time. The camera effects added in the 1.2.x updates was really me 'testing the waters' to see if I was ready to take on the big effects like Global Illumination, volumetric effects, etc..

Hey everyone, thank you again for your enthusiasm about the new theme, everyone's reaction was overwhelmingly positive and it fills me with joy to see it!
I just wanted to let you know that I've made a few small changes to the theme:
I've improved the Dark Mode implementation. Previously, the color scheme would only change after the page had fully loaded, which caused an issue where the light theme flashed for a short moment. This should now be solved! The Love reaction animation has been modified slightly. It's now a lovely shade of purple to avoid any confusion with the Downvote reaction. If you've added links to your YouTube channel, Twitter account, or website, they will now display as proper buttons next to your posts! Lastly, I'm currently working on a solution to add a text size option back to the editor! I was thinking something simple, an option to make text slightly larger, and one to make it slightly smaller. Let me know what you think of those!

The Love reaction animation has been modified slightly. It's now a lovely shade of purple to avoid any confusion with the Downvote reaction. If you've added links to your YouTube channel, Twitter account, or website, they will now display as proper buttons next to your posts! Lastly, I'm currently working on a solution to add a text size option back to the editor! I was thinking something simple, an option to make text slightly larger, and one to make it slightly smaller. Let me know what you think of those! 

Hey everyone, thank you again for your enthusiasm about the new theme, everyone's reaction was overwhelmingly positive and it fills me with joy to see it!

Oh woah I’m impressed. Good job fellas!

Hello everybody, hope you’re all doing well!
Today, we’re very excited to announce that we're launching a big update for the Mine-imator Forums, with a beautiful new design, a revamped layout and a few extra features!
In this post, we’ll cover all the changes we made, starting with...
 A snazzy new look
Gone are the dark blues and grays of days past! With this update, we’re introducing a brand new design, based on an updated version of Inventory, the design system that powers the user interface of Modelbench, and soon, Mine-imator.

Featuring a rich, bright color palette, updated typography and icons, and a wider, more spacious layout, this slick new theme will bring a much needed modern makeover for the forums. I really hope you’ll enjoy it!
 Join the dark side
If you’re the kind of person who doesn’t like frying their retinas while browsing at night, don’t worry, we got you covered! The new theme comes with a built-in Dark Mode to make your reading experience a lot more comfortable when you need it.

To enable it, simply click the moon icon on the top right of the page. The forums will automatically remember your choice, and you can disable it at any time, too!
 Note that for this feature to work properly, any existing color formatting had to be removed from posts. This was necessary to prevent text with dark colors applied to it from being impossible to read for Dark Mode users.
 News you can’t miss
Unless you specifically follow the right forums, it can be easy to miss all the important new stuff we have to share with you. To help with that, we’re introducing Headlines, a new way of making announcements to the community.
Headlines is a new feature on our homepage, allowing us to highlight any posts we want you to read, such as updates on the development of Mine-imator, important news regarding the forums, etc. This way, we can be sure you won’t have to worry about missing out on the latest juicy tidbits!
 A bit of spring cleaning
As part of this update, we’re also changing the way the forums are organized, to remove unnecessary clutter, and hopefully, make them easier to navigate.
The Mine-imator and Modelbench forums are now part of the same category, bringing them closer together, and making sure that you can find everything you need in one place.
As for the Minecraft and Off-topic categories, they’ve been merged into the Lounge, the new home of all the stuff that isn’t about Mine-imator. What used to be a dozen subforums now neatly fit within 4 forums, Random talk, Other creations, Minecraft discussion, and Forum games.
Let us know what you think about this new setup!
 And more!
We’ve replaced the existing reactions with a new set of playful animations featuring our mascots Ashley and Jonathan, animated by @mbanders and myself. And for those moments where a mere upvote just doesn’t feel like it’s enough, we’re also adding a new “Love” reaction to the roster! Use it wisely!
Moderators and members who have recently joined the forums will now display a badge next to their name in posts. User groups also have fancy icons next to their names! The number of won days and the number of questions you helped solve now display next to your posts, alongside your reputation points and your post count. The text editor has been updated with new icons and a few changes: Font and Size options were replaced with a Format option, letting you choose between three paragraph styles: Heading 1, Heading 2, and normal text. The text color option now uses the Inventory UI palette. While the selection is more limited, those new colors can automatically adapt for users that have Dark Mode enabled, ensuring high-contrast text no matter what background it’s being read against. The background color option also uses this new palette. It was tweaked to act like a highlighter tool, giving text a subtle background instead of a solid block of color. I’m very excited to start this new chapter of the Mine-imator Forums with all of you, and I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I enjoyed working on it over the past few months. I’d also like to thank David, our trusty forum staff, and all our beta testers for helping me make this update possible.
If you have any feedback or suggestions to make, be sure to leave a reply below! In the meantime, happy browsing, everyone! Take care. ✌
